Johnny went to my HS... I dated his sister (long before the event). Just goes to show, you can be book smart & not world wise. There were ways out.... a trolly to cross the river was only a few miles away. I wonder how things would be different today with technologies like googlemaps. Sad story for certain, although he was a man, he was just a kid.

I'm with Riderx...read the book, didn't see the film. Underimpressed by the story itself -- spoiled kid, bad choices, ill-prepared, etc.; although the book is well-written (Jon Krakauer is a pretty fantastic author).

I empathize with the main characterhe possessed the vanity of youththat feeling that a young boy gets when he thinks he has become a man

the Alaska Dream was actually a dream of mineI was plotting my course for the last wild frontier at the same time as this characterbut... things did not come togetherAlaska did not happen... I altered my course... alternate goals took place of that dreamyet it was a dream of mine through much of my 20's

how would I have gone?

just as vainjust as foolish

I did so many things over my head in my lifetook some uncalculated risksgot lucky and survived
